Am I the only one that will not be playing this right away?
The main reason is being I am a huge BF fan. So I will probably dedicate the first 6 months after release to BF3, wait for Skyrim to get the mod community going, and DLCs, and then see what is the best way to play the game.
Probably.
Ain't gonna stop me. In fact, BF3 and Skyrim will be perfect "complements" to each other for me. Two completely different games to switch back and forth to and from.
My buddy and i watched all the footage we could find on the game last night, and most of my earlier concerns i'd voiced i don't think are really founded anymore. The game looks fucking sweet and it will definitely be amazing out of the box--especially if you play it with a controller.
The one thing i hope, is that they release a different UI for the PC, as well as have better textures too.
Even if they don't, mods will be sure to do that in short order.
It's hard to tell how the perk system is going to play out--i really hope that it adds the variety to combat that the games have been lacking--they haven't spent any time showing what they do or how they're used...so it's impossible to tell!
If it doesn't add that variety, then i'm certain there will be a combat mod down the road to add timed blocking, parrying, shield bash, and hopefully kick too. It'd also be nice to see localized damage, because those videos of archery where he's one-shotting dudes by just shooting center mass... bah!
Still tho, can't wait for launch day ^_^
That's EXACTLY my way of playing games! Its very hard to get bored with any game when you can switch to something fresh at any moment. With that said...I don't care whether there's anything good to switch to or not - ill be playing skyrim on day one like a boss
I highly doubt the perks will add much depth or complexity to the combat, which really is unfortunate. Combat like that new Age of Chivalry game would be absolutely fantastic.
Anyways, I hopped on that Newegg pre-order deal for $47, best deal I've seen on a physical copy so far, and I wanted that burlap map!
posted in the Hot Deals section but I think it's worth a repost here
Newegg is having a pre-order sale this weekend only...$47.99 w/free shipping for PC/Xbox/PS3...use Promo Code: EMCYTZT852
I'm sure combat will be much better then vanilla Oblivion's that is for sure. I'm sure the modder's will probably overcome any shortages it has.
System reqs are up, and they're pretty low (as was expected).
Minimum
Operating System: XP/Vista/7
CPU: Dual Core 2GHz
Memory: 2GB RAM
Video card: DX9c, 512MB RAM
Recommended
Operating System: XP/7
CPU: Quad-Core Intel/AMD
Memory: 4GB RAM, 6GB HD
Video card: DX9 1GB RAM (GTX 260/Radeon 4890 or higher)
Anyone else think it's funny that Vista is on the minimum, but not on the recommended?

What about hard drive space? Really hoping I can fit this on my 60GB SSD. I'll probably have to uninstall any other game to make room, but I'll do it!
heh, supposedly the 6GB HD.... at first glance I thought it was some strange 6GB of some special type of HD brand of RAM I didn't know about.
This had wanna look good for those specs.
I can max out FOVegas with 7gig texture pack on e8400+4850 1gig, so this should look better than that....
That said, many of the combat mods i didn't think felt that great, and there wasn't the capability for modders to add in localized damage. In this day, games really shouldn't let you kill someone by stabbing their foot.
I truely hope for this. Having played many Oblivion mods, I know there will be many fixes from the community to come.

so yea... here's hoping that the capabilities of the new SDK allow much better stuff!
I just fear that we're going to see more of this when we try to push skyrim's engine to scale to not only today's high end hardware but tomorrow's hardware as well.
Agreed.
For Fallout 3 and New Vegas both there are these:
http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6769
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40442
Basically these are convenient programs that let you do all the .ini tweaks nice and easy otherwise you know you can hit them manually and you can exceed the "maximum" default settings on a number of things including the draw distance. If you have the hardware you won't have any problems but be conservative when increasing the values past "maximum."
I expect to have more or less the same options in Skyrim.
I think my only concern at this point is the object draw distance. Even at max settings, fallout vegas has a PATHETIC draw distance and it seems that when you go into the ini file and edit it to draw more Ugrids to load, it get extremely unstable.
Once you change uGridstoLoad, if you try to load a save that has a different setting the game will crash. There is a way around that however.
It was a typo that was copied over from the source, pretty sure they meant 16GB HDD.
I am not too worried about the 6GB then if there is compression involved. Wasn't Witcher 2 8GB (minus bonus and DLC content) at launch?
Of course that does cause some concern on the modding side and how bad pop in will occur.
OH NYEAW!
HDD requirements=game quality!!!
Skyrim must be worse than Duke Nukem Forever!!!
Any news of what the specs are yet?
Announced them a few days ago:
